They were on the back foot after taking the lead, but Angola were able to break down a defense led by debutant Razak Simpson, who had a brilliant showing.
However, three minutes past the hour mark, a poor clearance by Alidu Seidu presented the perfect opportunity for Milson to send in a cross which Zini freely headed home to restore parity for the home side.
Before that though, it was goalkeeper Abdul Manaf Nurudeen who was the hero of the game after saving a penalty kick by M’bala Nzola in the 27th minute.
Overall, it was a polarizing performance from Otto Atto’s men. Some lived up to the task while others continued their shambolic display for the national team.

Abdul Manaf Nurudeen – 6.5/10
